Voice is a special service. It's outside of SL and piped through the viewer, so it plays by its own rules (sometimes not very well). If yours is working, you're already doing better than the average SL resident. If absolutely none of your other sounds are working, suspect your own audio control system first. Open your Windows sound panel and be sure that you have a control assigned to SL and that you are passing the sound signal to the proper speakers on your computer. Then check also the Sound & Media page in Preferences in your viewer to be sure that you have enabled streaming media and that you haven't accidentally shoved all of the sliders all the way to the left.

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT WOOOOOO. Apparently windows 10 (piece of S**T) has the ability to put everything in quiet mode. So even if your sound is turned all the way up you wont hear a dam thing. SO for anyone with windows 10 here is how to check that.

On the start bar to the very right is a notification Icon. Click that and check your Quiet hours GRRRRRRR. Also it could have been the clean install I did removing all the SL viewer stuff either way I got it fixed LOL.

You can use CPU-Z (free) to find your motherboard brand and model. Then look for its driver updates. There will probably be a driver for audio. If there is no Win 10 driver, you may get by with Win 7 or 8. Pay attention to whether you need 32 or 64-bit versions.

If you have an Alienware deactivate the Alienware Sound center in hidden icons on your task bar - the little alien head wearing headhones icon - before starting any Second Life viewer. They don't play well together. I wish to God I had figured that out months ago.
